"Hey, do you wanna come to the game on Friday? I have a ticket for $20."

Pretty simple if you ask me.
This can be looked at in another way.

"hey, I have a free ticket for tomorrow night, do you want to come?"

I know this is semantics now, but if the word free doesn't make it's way into that sentence one should never make the assumption that the offer actually is free. This is something that we've all been through at some point and it comes down to people's inability to communicate properly.

Look, I agree that the original offer should have been clear about wanting to receive payment for the ticket but it wasn't, so why is it correct to assume that the offer is complimentary?
